Wouldn't you be too if you were in time-out while the other boys got to go outside and play?

I've thought about it some more. Using the criteria of
- interesting name/s in sci-fi
- cut to the chase
- but cover a few angles

And the result was...

"Apollo Denial - Kubrick, Van Allen and other Moon Shadows"

States the subject clearly, uses a name that immediately grabs sci-fi enthusiast's attention, adds in an obvious Science bent, and even interests those who like Cat Stevens/classy music from that era. (OK, so Moon Shadow was '71. Who's counting..?)

I expect copious remuneration if you use that, of course...

It's also one word, but who's counting?

How about "Houston, They've got a problem"

Maybe subtitled "Did we go to the moon?", or "Was Apollo just movie magic?" to make the "They" a bit more ambiguous.

There is no such thing as way to big, slang

ETA: It is not way to big. With all the points that are thrown out by the HB crowd, I think the box is way to small

Ah, but it's for evidence, not just points!

But HBers think that everything is evidence. Even the bowls that have gone missing from my cupboard.

If I may submit and paraphrase a Shakespeare themed title:

The Moon Hoax: A Tale Told by Idiots, Full of Sound and Fury Signifying Nothing.

(Macbeth, Act V, scene v)

You got me thinking Rob...

"The Lunacy of the Moon Hoax"

Basic and obvious, but that's all I got at the moment.

Hey, ToSeek...

I reckon the least you should do after all this invaluable (cough) assistance we have provided, is to:

- tell us what you end up using

- provide a copy of your speech notes; perhaps even the Powerpoint handouts (if they exist) in pdf form - some notable HB's need to practice their copying skills*...



* - That's a very poor in-joke.. for which I apologise already. Sorta.
